Hi all, You might be asking what is happening with Apache iota. The initial arcitecture that we wanted to upload was not as scalable as we required it to be. Rather than upload an architecture that we wanted to fundamentally change we have been developing a new backend architecture and code based that implements a significantly more scalable solution using Apache, Spark, Spark Streaming and Cassandra. We are still using Python and Django for our APIs and authentication (session and token based). Consequently, you haven’t seen any activity on the Apache iota site and repository. This will be changing soon. Litbit (the contributing company whose business runs on iota) has been working around the clock to remake the backend using additional Apache components that makes the solution far more scalable.
We will be setting up the Apache iota website to reflect the new architecture and uploading the initial source code as quickly as we can. We are planning to promoting iota at an upcoming keynote being given by Scott Noteboom (Litbit's CEO). In addition we will be presenting iota at Apache Con in May. Our goal in promoting iota will be to start building a community that will contribute to moving iota to it’s first release as an Apache incubator project. Thanks for your patience. -Tony
